Elected officials, building engineers and architects, along with Lake Travis Middle School students and staff, cut the ribbon Sept. 14 in the new school’s cafeteria.[/caption] Using money from the $158.5 million bond approved by voters in 2011, Lake Travis ISD opened two new schools: Lake Travis Middle School, 4932 Bee Creek Road, Spicewood, and West Cypress Hills Elementary School, 6112 Cypress Ranch Blvd., Spicewood in 2014. The two schools held ribbon-cutting ceremonies Sept. 14 and 21 to allow parents and students to tour the facilities. "A school is brick and mortar until the children arrive," LTISD Superintendent Brad Lancaster said at the WCHES opening. "Then it is a home." The district plans to add more schools in the future, but no time table has been set. LTISD received a 12-acre land donation for a future elementary school from Rough Hollow neighborhood builders Legend Communities on Oct. 30. The Rough Hollow site would be the seventh elementary school for the district, but Susan Bohn, LTISD assistant superintendent and general counsel, said the district plans to have nine elementary schools at some point. When purchasing land the district looks at demographics reports, which it receives every few years to keep up with the fast area growth, Bohn said. The district has projections through about 2025 but will get a new update in January or February to help guide long-term planning. Additional land purchases could be on the next bond the district puts to voters to help keep up with growth.
